I have to say that the only effect, that I have personally witnessed, that blew me away the most was 8th manoeuvre By Luke Jermay.

Yes I have done this. But does the "name reveal" have a name to it?

It's in Bigger Fish 2 and I think it may be on the free form mentalism DVD. It's not on his penguin lecture. Personally I wish Pete kept it to himself. The actual experience was about as close to real mind reading as you are ever going to get. The explanation removes that sense of awe and wonder. Sometimes it better to not know.

I limited my list to effects I've witnessed or experienced personally. There's simply too many effects, in general, to name! Some of the best mentalism effects I've ever seen, personally would be:
Rick Maue's Group Dynamic - The first time I saw this, I was absolutely floored. Simple and brilliant. Can't ask for more. Alain Nu - ACAAN - Best version I have ever witnessed (and taken part in), hands down. You want direct? Someone named a number, I named a card - someone else came up, opened the deck, and dealt the cards. Alain stood off to the side of the performing area the entire time. I know ACAAN isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I enjoy the plot, and this was the best performance I've seen. Colin McLeod - I don't know what the name of the routine is. It was the closer for his one-off New York show. I was quite thrilled to be the spectator for it. It was the single best PERFORMANCE I've ever been witness to. Funny, amazing, confounding - with a finale that literally blew the roof off of the building. Easily the best mentalism performance I've ever had the pleasure of seeing. |

My two are Chan Canastas book test with Mike Parkinson and Derren Browns version of Korans Medallion. Chan for having balls of steel and showing a master thinking on his feet, and Derren for showing how a simple effect can be turned into true theater with the right framing. Both beautiful mentalism for different reasons.

I agree that the medallion effect on the recording of Enigma is brilliant. It is an object lesson in the importance of acting skills for a mentalist. Derren seems to mean every word and the shifts between humour and gravitas are extraordinary.
Anyone wanting to know why Derren is streets ahead of almost all of the competition need only watch that routine. |

Old School: Kuda Bux. Everything he did seemed totally believable. Plus he had that cool name.

It was about 25 years ago. I can still see it happening in my mind, and I became a different man because of it.
It was called, Synchronicity III. Sheer brilliance!

As you can tell by the posts to the question posed, the question should have been "what/who was the best mentalism performance you've ever seen?"
My point is it is really not about the effect as much as the performer and the presentation. To me this is one of the greatest misconceptions in our art. We are not truly impressed or impacted by the trick or effect, but in reality the presentation and execution of the performance by the talent/personality. |
